Nice looking piece. Seems sturdy. Mixed review from the cats. The bed is too low for their liking (they prefer high spots but the top shelf is not padded so not comfy for them). The scratching pad is nice but they are not using it very much yet. Assembly was fairly simple but not easy. Step-by-step instructions were incomplete (they only got you through half the assembly?!). It was pretty easy to logically figure out how to finish but it involved a bit of guesswork. Also got huge blister from hand-screwing in dozens of tiny tight screws.
